I think most people are scared to give voice to how they truly feel. Where that fear comes from (fear of owning one's emotions, fear of having our feeling's invalidated/ignored, or being chastised for them, fear that perhaps we truly are being petty or childish and don't want to give others enough specifics to call us on such behavior, etc.). We live in a world where people are constantly bombarded with the message that unless we're happy and pulled together 24/7, there's something heinously wrong with us; we're not keeping in line with (so-called) normal human behavior. And we all know the ultimate price one pays for deviance--ostracism.

Of course, the above is nothing more than one person's humble opinion. Shit house philosophy from the Princess of Pain.
